 I had just migrated a WP website that was very old.  I encountered an
 issue that took several hours to debug.

 The site was on PHP 5.6 and I updated everything to use PHP 7.3. At PHP
 5.6 this was not an issue, but was at PHP 7.3.

 The site seemed to be loading fine. No errors in the PHP error logs.
 However, I was not able to login to the WP Admin. After I defined error
 logging true. I get this:

 After several hours of debugging I found this:

 I was able to fix this in the DB. But, feel that WP could simply trim
  spaces from cookie paths since they are not allowed by PHP.

 There are 3 constants that require this attention.

 {{{
 COOKIEPATH

 {{{

 {{{
